(Epigenetics)" en http://www.nodalpoint.org/node/1723#comment-1417 <p>Don't know if other people provide this kind of data in their browsers. However, it's certainly easy enough to add it yourself. Any "feature" (a region on a stretch of DNA with a start and an end) can be displayed. Typically you would (1) run the software that finds the feature, (2) write a parser to extract the coordinates and strand, (3) add that data to a file format such as GFF and (4) either upload to a browser website or install the browser yourself and load into a local database. All very easy using <i>e.g.</i> Bioperl, Bio::DB::GFF, MySQL and the Generic Genome Browser.</p> <p>So there's a nice little bioinformatics project for you.</p> <br class="clear" /> Wed, 26 Oct 2005 06:54:22 -0400 Neil comment 1417 at http://www.nodalpoint.org http://www.nodalpoint.org/node/1723 <p>Everyone knows what DNA is these days. Hm. Just stumbled over today's <a href="http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v437/n7062/abs/nature04088.html">article</a> in Nature about Z-DNA and B-DNA with some nice pictures (see also the free <a href="http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v437/n7062/suppinfo/nature04088.html">Figure S8</a>) </p> <p>Frankly, I completely forgot about left-handed DNA. That brings me to a topic where I'm clearly lacking keywords: What is there on DNA apart from the raw sequence? I seems to be really similar to a normal cord. What can you do with a piece of cord? Similar things as with DNA.
